Aeronautical Engineering

What is Aeronautical Engineering?

Aeronautical Engineering is the science involved with the study, design, and manufacture of flight-capable machines, or the techniques of operating aircraft. Aerospace engineers are responsible for the research, design and production of aircraft, spacecraft, aerospace equipment, satellites and missiles. They also develop new technologies in commercial aviation, defense systems, and space exploration. This course also enables students to attain knowledge of advanced technology used in aircrafts travelling in outer space.
